Unexpected Finding.

[atmccmn]

Found this while attending to my Tills. It's a hydnophytum formicarum seedling germinating out from the leaf axil of my Till.



My guess is that the birds must have done this where I find they love ripe hydno. fruits.
Hmm.....must serch further. See whether have few other seedlings!

I still got no luck with Hydnophytum. But Pachycentria grow likes weed in my place.

Hi Andy,

It's just so random finding a plantlet growing on a till leaf! Interesting find indeed!! These things stick themselves on almost any surface...

The seeds are very sticky indeed which helps. I have seen on BBC channels the mistletoe tree how the seeds are disperse. Even the droppings is not easily discharge and the mistletoe bird has to "wipe" the droppings onto a branch.

Andy, great find. It look like the replica of the adult plant.
